my god, a masterpiece. if @ravenkennedybooks writes it, i shall consume it.
this book was so beautifully done, i could go on for days about her writing style and how much i love how perfectly she pulls a world together and sucks you straight into it as if you’d always been there.
this is a totally new concept for me and i devoured it. and the relativity to the way things are in the real world made the story that much more attention grabbing.
the banter in this book was probably some of the MOST top tier I’ve ever read. i can’t count how many times i caught myself grinning or kicking my feet. but also, to be able to go from that to giving my kindle a death grip and roiling with anxiety as things unfolded… i genuinely couldn’t ask for more in a story.
the characters were honestly some of my favorites and i felt genuinely connected to some of them by the end of the book. AND, you know I’m a sucker for a good enemies to lovers relationship. sign me up every single time. 🤌🏼
I genuinely cannot WAIT for the next one. like seriously, I cannot wait till this releases so I can yap about it until I’m blue in the face. I MUST have this beauty on my shelf when it releases.
coming sept 22, 2026 ✨

Let me start by saying, WOW. I was hooked from the first chapter. And the more I read, the deeper my obsession grew. The aesthetics and atmosphere of this setting were so perfectly done that I felt as if I were there with them. ✨
I was on edge through so much of this book with a MASSIVE need to know preventing me from putting this book down. The way I had to be physically peeled away from this book because I just couldn’t stop.
Haven is such a fun FMC. I loved her and her attitude. And Cameron, Lyall, Reyes, and Ezra? Let’s just say, my curiosity was piqued the moment they walked into the equation. But the depth? The back stories of these characters were amazingly done. And I honestly don’t think there will ever be a way for me to fully explain how much I loved this book and how it fed my soul in a way I can’t explain. 😮💨🤌🏼
The last few chapters were an absolutely WILD ride and now I’m questioning EVERYTHING. That ending left me with my jaw on the floor and a need for more.👀
Releasing Oct 6 2026! You’re gonna wanna put this one on your tbr. It’ll be perfect for the spooky season.🖤

An absolute masterpiece. I was absolutely hooked on this story line. It’s rare that I read a friends to lovers story, but this one was done so perfectly that I couldn’t get enough. Jack and Sylvi are an INCREDIBLE pair, and the yearning and tension between the two of them is simply beautiful and poetic. I raged, I gasped, I giggled. I just loved it. And that ending? WHAT?! I HAVE TO HAVE MORE. I NEED TO KNOW.
I absolutely love Olivia’s writing style. The way she described the world, and the beautiful way she strings her words together was pure magic. Hands down, a five star read for me.
